This post is mainly visual as it is hard for me to describe such beauty and atmosphere only with words.
I love visiting this palace/house-museum and I really feel at ease in its cosy atmosphere. If you come here you will enter a magical world, walking in dim light you will be surrounded by beauty everywhere you look. You will visit the rooms created by Mariano Fortuny and sit on the big sofa contemplating the luxury of the wall-hanging tapestries and Fortuny's eclectic collection of different objects - the famous lamps, the paintings, wonderful pieces of furniture, statues and even a huge snake.
It was Fortuny's atelier of photography, stage-design, textile-design and painting and it still has his library in perfect condition. Unfortunately it is open only during temporary exhibitions, which luckily are happening often. Last time I visited it, it was in November during the temporary exhibition Proportio.
